Chapter 108: How Much Is the Yield Per Mu?
......
Inside the Royal Palace
"Li You's rebellion, what are the other princes?" Li Shimin's face was flat and asked Yun Ruidao of the Hundred Cavalry Division.
Yun Rui hurriedly saluted, "Your Majesty, there was a jubilant sound from the East Palace last night, it seems that the crown prince and a few eunuchs were drinking, and there are ..... Last night, the East Palace was full of people, and people came in and out......"
"The Fourth Prince Li Tai's mansion also held a poetry meeting last night, and there was a lot of noise......"
“......”
Li Shimin listened to what several princes did, and his face was cold as if he was covered with a layer of frost.
Yunrui: "King Wu has been closed these days, and I heard that he is studying. ”
Li Shimin couldn't help but raise his head, and the cold in his eyes thawed a little. "Huh? Is it? ”
The fifth prince Li You rebelled, and when a group of sons were boiling and trying to find ways to entrap the courtiers, Li Ke's indifferent attitude couldn't help but make Li Shimin's eyes shine.
"Go, call Ke'er over, I haven't spoken to him in a long time."
It didn't take long for Wu Wangke to come on horseback and be recruited into the study.
"Father!" Li Ke saluted.
"Ke'er, I heard that you have been reading at home lately? What kind of book are you reading? Li Shimin put down what he was doing, helped him up with a smile and said:
"Oh, I'm reading some military books, and some other Confucian books." Li Ke hurriedly replied honestly.
Li Shimin couldn't help but smile even more when he heard this, "Yes, not arrogant or impatient, Li You rebelled, and the other princes were encircling the courtiers, but Ke'er was studying, and now it seems that Ke'er is still gratifying!" ”
"Let's go, accompany my father to the garden for a walk."
"Yes, Father!"
Li Ke was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly got up, speaking of which, he rarely had this opportunity to get along with his father.
The two chatted and chatted, and naturally they talked about the truth of governing the country and leveling the world.
"Ke'er, why are you reading military books?" Li Shimin looked at the words that were blooming in the garden, and asked with a light smile.
"Father, there is Goguryeo in the east and Tubo in the west around the Tang Dynasty, and you should be strong at any time......."
Li Shimin nodded, "Yes, it is extremely rare to have such thoughts!" ”
And for Li Shimin, although he is also wise and martial, but his prince is openly rebellious, how can he not feel uncomfortable?
Although the prince and Li Tai and other princes are very good, but each of them is very crazy, and his younger brother Li You rebelled, you still have this kind of mind?
Now it seems that excellence is not as important as character, the more excellent people want to fight, the more they want to fight, the greater the sequelae of the struggle, he is really afraid that the changes in Xuanwumen will be repeated again in the next generation.
Ke'er can maintain such a peaceful attitude and behave so honestly, which can't help but make Li Shimin feel very gratified.
"Father praised it!"
Wu Wangke hurriedly saluted, and at the same time of ecstasy in his heart, he couldn't help but feel more and more shocked in his heart, but his mind was like a thunderbolt hitting him, and he was frozen in place.
His heart was shocked, and his heart was pounding like thunder.
That is, is not fighting the biggest dispute?
He couldn't help but shout in his heart: "My brother-in-law is really a god!" ”
Today, my father has affirmed himself many times, which has never been done in the past!
In the next chat again and again, the smile on Li Shimin's face bloomed more and more, he discovered Li Ke's talent, and more importantly, he found that his son was very docile, the key is not to be too violent, even in the face of the throne is so calm.
The father and son walked for a long time before Li Shimin said: "I'll go see your mother in a while, and my father will bring some of the new tribute melons and fruits here." ”
"Thank you, Father!" The joy in Wu Wangke's heart had already risen to his eyebrows.
......
At this time, the gate of Qin Shou.
Several carriages came at once.
The eldest grandson Wuji, the crown prince Li Chengqian, the fourth prince Li Tai, and the ninth prince Li Zhi, no one thought that several princes who didn't meet much on weekdays would meet here today.
The moment several people saw each other, their eyes couldn't help shrinking suddenly, and a few words popped up in their minds: Why did they come?
Now that I saw it, I had to say hello with a smile,
"Prince!"
"Fourth brother!"
"Uncle Guo!"
"Ninth brother!"
“......”
Just when the atmosphere was awkward, the door creaked, and Gao Yang walked out with a black face, "Why are you here again?" Do you have nothing to do every day? ”
Didn't I tell you to come less in the future?
It's a day-to-day day, and it's impossible to get by.
A few people couldn't help scratching their heads, "Seventeenth sister, let's just come and sit for a while?" ”
Gao Yang looked at them faintly, wanting to scold but didn't know how to scold, and only after a while did he snort coldly: "You came for nothing, Lang Jun is not at home." ”
"Oh, where is he now?"
"Farming on the edge of the Chan River!" Gao Yang closed the door angrily.
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned and looked at each other.
Eldest Sun Wuji: "Li Zhi, I haven't been to the Chan River for a long time, let's go over there and have a look?" ”
"Good!" Li Zhi replied.
The prince and Li Tai will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and they also got in the car and followed.
When they arrived, they saw Qin Shou and a few people checking something in the field.
There happens to be a paddy field here, and it seems that rice is grown in it.
For this, during the Tang Dynasty, the climate in Chang'an was very different from today.
In the Tang Dynasty, the climate in Guanzhong was warm and humid, the precipitation was abundant, the eastern suburbs of Chang'an City were close to Lishan, there were Chan River, Ba River, it was also a good place with mountains and rivers, and even forests, and the people of Chang'an at that time should live more comfortably than today's Xi'an people.
The Chang'an City area is not only not short of water, but has rivers, lakes, natural forests and natural terrain undulating terrain, and abundant water systems.
Therefore, at this time, not only chestnut wheat was grown, but also rice was cultivated in some places.
The car can't go anymore.
They got out of the car and just wanted to continue walking, but they heard Qin Shou say: "Uncle, you have been moved forward, don't step on the seedlings for me!" ”
Everyone hurriedly took a few steps back.
After a long while, Qin Shou walked out of the field, "Uncle, why did you find here?" ”
"Hey, it's nothing, I just want to see what you've been up to lately?" The eldest grandson Wuji asked Qin Shou tentatively: "Have you heard?" Our fifth prince Li You of the Tang Dynasty rebelled? ”
Well?
Qin Shou raised his head suddenly, "Who, Li You rebelled?" ”
It shouldn't be!
How could Lee woo rebel?
It's not time yet, is it?
"Why did he rebel?" Qin Shou asked with a look of surprise.
At this time, everyone looked at Qin Shou, including the eldest grandson Wuji, who looked at Qin Shou with disdain, and said in his heart: "Nima, the things of the dog day, you are pretending to be confused, right?" Why the rebellion, don't you know? ”
Didn't you force him to rebel?
What are you pretending?
"You don't know that, do you?"
Qin Shou said in a daze: "Where do I know where to go, you came just to tell me this?" ”
“.......”
Seeing Qin Shou's stunned look, everyone was even more speechless.
It's so special!
Li Zhi asked, "Brother-in-law, why did you start farming?" ”
"Isn't this just ......" Li Chengqian stretched out his hand and was about to take it off.
"Stop!" But I heard Qin Shou scolding loudly: "This is hybrid rice, with a yield of 600 catties per mu." ”
"How much?"
According to historical records, the rice yield in the Taihu Lake area of the Song Dynasty was only about 220 kilograms per mu, that is, about 450 kilograms per mu, and it was only 800 kilograms per mu during the Kangxi period, which was still the highest yield at that time.
The rice yield in Datang is even lower, with a yield of no more than 300 catties per mu.
600 pounds?
This is a 100% increase?
When everyone heard this, their brains buzzed, it was simply shocking!
